hello to all!
three wee problems i need help with,hope wee anyway!
1. had recent oil change at local garage ,a few days have gone by but have noticed some cream on filler pipe and cap,none in expansion tank and none on oil dipstick.
2. last couple days temperature needle takes its time,car heats up etc heat in blowers but expansion tank mid to low when cold but after running short time almost at top and bubbling,hoses very hot top and bottom.
3. central locking, i assume i need door solenoid(drivers) as past posts similar i think. you can use remote to unlock all doors excepty drivers,deadlock works,but drivers door until today only operate by key and pop up button sticking sometimes but today after locking car went to get something and now drivers door wouldn't open at all.
eventually got drivers door open hold key to right after click and lift handle, door pin still stuck down.
so any help much appreciated firstly i guess need drivers door solenoid,so if any members have one can you drop me a line.just to say its a facelift 2.6 mv6.
thanks to all! :)
oh and if there's any members in or around fife that know how to rectify my probs drop me a line ok ,cheers :y
